Answer 1

Hi there,

If the purge solenoid is sticking open you may have trouble starting the car in hot weather or after filling the car with gas. What happens is the fuel vapors go directly into the intake manifold when the purge solenoid is open. This essentially will flood the car if it's stuck in an open position. This would cause hard starting at times.
